50 Things I Do When I REALLY Like A Woman

"The best feeling is when you look at him and hes already staring." —85 million Internet memes

The laws of attraction are the laws of attraction because no one really understands them. So they need their own laws. Overwhelming curiosity, freight train infatuation, unstoppable pangs of waking up in the night to the image of a certain face, love-at-first-sight, hell, even second glass of red wine crushing, whatever it might be — there's inimitable electricity that comes with liking someone else in the true and special way.

You've been there. So have I. It's what makes us human.

I don't know if deer feel that way, the way we do. Or hippos. Or birds or trout or praying mantis. I hope they do. I hope they feel more than the standard tug of procreating. Lust is what keeps the species around, but it's not all there is when it comes to people.

We are different. We have this ability to lose our breath at the way another person flips their hair out of their face. At the way another person smiles calmly at us over their beer when our whole world is turning upside down.

It's hard to explain. It's tough sometimes to know if a person likes you in the way you might really be hoping they do. But f*ck it. I've liked so many women in my time. Even if most of them had no idea.

I've been smiled at, shot down, avoided, missed, ignored, kissed, and straight up left for another, all in the first deciding moments of what might have been. So why not me?

I might as well take a stab at giving the ladies a hint. Before I'm dead over here, you know?
